... so this is mostly for my own memory, but, I thought I would update about my life a bit.
I have a new job, that I started in July sometime. So, not really THAT new, but whatever. I quit my old job at the old law firm that technically is no more since it has a new name and almost none of the people who were there when I left still work there in June and started temping after a week's vacation.
I was at a really small non-profit that worked with USAID for about a month and then they were going to place me at AU but that fell through so they put me at a BIGLAW firm in Dupont Circle. I told the agency that I under no circumstances wanted to work at another law firm, big, small, in-between, pro-bono centric or corporate.
Then I met the HR-Lady.
I LOVE the HR-Lady.
My temp job was to be a floating secretary. Sounded pretty easy. I found that liked it a lot. No pressure.
After about a month she asked me if I wanted to do it on a more permanent basis. I thought about it for about .01 seconds while she said yes there would be health insurance and promptly said yes. Then they offered me more than I asked for in the way of salary. I had to pinch myself.
Did I mention that I LOVE the HR-Lady.
So they floated me to this one desk with this Big Important Attorney (TM) and withing two weeks Big Important Attorney (TM) asked me if I wanted to stay on as his secretary. I thought about it for a while. Then decided on a yes. And HR gave me even MORE money.
LOVE LOVE LOVE HR-Lady.
I've been here even since then.
*I* read this, and I like it when you post! Thanks for the background - I haven't been able to put together all the changes in your working life. Congratulations for finding something that works so well! Yay!
